If anybody could send me the measurements for the rocker panels Id appreciate it. I am going to fab my own since mine are missing. Also, from what I thought I knew (this is my first 914) 914s had dual carbs. Mine doesnt have a place for two. Just the frour pipes running straight to the center with a rectangle flat metal piece i am assuming for mounting the carb. Is one normal? What carb do I need? This is a 72 1.7 or 1.8 L btw. Also, where do I put fuel into this thing? I looked and looked for where I would fill but cannot find anything!

Nope. All USA four cylinder 914s had electronic fuel injection!
What you see in the center is the intake plenum for the FI.

Dual (and single) carbs are all aftermarket.

No 914/4 ever came with carbs. If it is a 1.7 it had D-Jet fuel injection.If it is a 1.8 it had L-Jet fuel injection.

Seriously, we looked, I think whatever should be there is missing so Im not seeing it...or as my mother use to say...if it was a snake it would have bitten me. Do you have a photo of the plenum sttached to the center? It would help if I could see what should be there. Same with the gask filler.

Do you have a photo of it on the car so I know what I should have?

There was a Euro 1.8 that came with dual carbs.

I didn't respond to yours, but Teknons. I saw what you wrote. Seemed like he was making a more emphatic statement. "No 914/4 ever" was what he wrote.

What side of town are you on? I could come by and see what you have, and let you know what's missing or what you need. I've got a bunch of spares. Let me know if you need help. It's always nice to know there's another 914 in town.

Possibly could also be the mount for the single carb? Need pix ...

I've got some rocker panels somewhere you can have. There in good shape. I'll look around the garage tonight for them. I'm also in San Antonio.
